2Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Similar to yesterday. High winds. Forecast is calling for high surf but we are only seeing small to moderate surf. Watch for shore break and surge along the rocks.
- Surf: 2-3 ft.
- Weather: Similar to north bays.
-
Notes: Rocky shoreline sheltered bay. Use the Honolua Lookout before the bay to check conditions. The water should be blue and you should be able to see the reef. If the water looks “milky” or green the snorkeling will not be good. If there are surfers on the north side of the bay the snorkeling conditions are probably poor or even dangerous. If it has been raining the river empties brown, muddy water into the bay and you should definitely stay out of the water.

3Ka'anapali Beach
Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach- Overall Conditions: Moderate winds. Small surf. Looks like another nice day around Black Rock.
- Webcam:
- Surf: 1-2 ft.
- Weather: Isolated showers before noon. Mostly sunny, with a high near 82. Windy, with an east northeast wind 25 to 29 mph, with gusts as high as 37 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
- Notes: Don’t snorkel directly under Black Rock, you don’t want to get jumped on. Turtles as usual. Don’t forget they are protected so give them space but enjoy. If you venture around Black Rock stay close to shore. Watch for surge along the rocks.

8Olowalu Mile Marker 14
Black Rock, Kahekili-Airport Beach- Overall Conditions: Calm to moderate winds. Flat surf. Looking nice today.
- Weather: Similar to north bays.
- Notes: Give the turtles some space and don’t get your car stuck in the sand. There is a sand channel that goes through the reef across the highway from the Mile Marker 14 post that is the easiest place to swim out.
